On my way to watch Oregon-Washington. ... It's rainy and cold. I'm not too thrilled because I'm not a fan of either team. ... BUT... The tickets were free. Game is the same time as our Hokies game.

I say that to say this... I'm gonna turn my phone off around game time, watch ore-uw, then turn it back on AFTER I get back home and watch unc-vt. Nobody would be looking for my deep input otherwise, but just letting you guys know.

I'm worried about Hooker forcing it to Hazelton over and over and over again. Willis did it last year a few games in a row until it burned us and he was forced to distribute the ball. After last week, I'm concerned Hooker is going to fall into the same pattern.

and I can't watch since I need a VPN to hide the fact from Youtube that i'm overseas so I'll just look for the hokietapes version on youtube later. Saw the score update though. Not great bob. Go Hokies though.

I'm not sure how anyone on this website still believes in this coaching staff. UNC has a bus full of injured DBs and Hooker is basically our only effective weapon on offense? With Turner and Hazelton both available?

I know it's early, but this team has shown such a turn around over the past couple weeks, especially considering the year they were coming off of. Even down 10 I feel confident and the team looks like they're having fun.

You can tell the UNC plan is to take advantage of our weak secondary. The previous films speak for themselves. Just like how Miami smoked us in the second half. UNC knows and they are taking it to our secondary

So it's 10-7 end of first. Given how poorly we have played I think this result is good. The 3 points UNC has was on the offense. The defense is still very porous and that will be the issue going forward

So UNC has 16 passing plays and 12 running plays. They have been pass first given the weakness in our secondary. However in the last possession UNC balanced it more and the defense held them. A good trend.

Omg a player makes one missed tackle bute been playing well and in position the rest of the game. Let me hop on an internet forum from my couch with my Busch light in my hand and tell the world he sucks. Our fans are...not very good.

I saw this day about 6 or 7 times last fall and a few times already this season. The defense is lacking talent and is broken in so many different ways. There was no way that group from last season was going to progress very far over a single offseason.

Farley has been decent in coverage (tackling is still awful), but there are just so many plays where the camera pans over to the opposing team's WR and we don't even have a db on the screen with him. The lack of pass rush contributes to that, but a lot of the busted coverages have been on relatively quick passes.

"Good play to stay at home and knock down the dangerous Hooker." Unfortunately this ain't GTA.
.
Something tells me Hooker knew while he was still on the ground after that play but didn't want to accept it.

Okay wes mcelroy on the VT radio broadcast- Caleb Farley out the rest of the game. (Damn it). In his interview with Fuente- Fuente just said Willis is ready. Willis the only one warming up. Hooker on sideline but does not have a helmet.

Post game comment (I was at the game): I know that Willis is not a favorite on this site, but give him credit for the touchdown throw at the end of the 1st half. You can argue about his skills and judgement, but, without that score, we would not have won the game. Has another QB on the team demonstrated the ability to make that throw (honest question, I really don't know the answer)?

Oh no I agree I was just speaking in hindsight based on the whole body of work. I had no problem with the decision to go with Willis second. When I said this late in regulation it was just based on what had objectively occurred.

Post-game comment (I was at the game): Lane was loud, the loudest and most animated I have ever seen. I think the visiting recruits had to come away impressed. That may be an even bigger positive than win in the longer term.

Because it doesn't need to be? It's just throw the ball far...he has the arm. I hate not taking that chance

Edit: it's really the players who are downfield trying to catch the ball that need practice. Some should be going up and some should be in front for the tip or the tackle in the case of an interception. Seems to me all you have to do is tell QP left, right, or middle and deep...
